Earvin “EJ” Johnson, son of Magic
and Cookie Johnson, says his parents supported him after he came out
gay.

Johnson, who publicly came out gay last
year, appeared Thursday on Bethenny.

“They were very supportive and I'm
very blessed that they, you know, supported me since day one and they
never stopped loving me. They're always there for me. And they sort
of encouraged me to be myself and express myself. I love it,”
Johnson told host Bethenny Frankel.

“You feel like you were born gay?”
Frankel asked.

“Yeah, I don't think that anything
shaped it from society or nature. Yeah, it was certainly something
that I always feel that I was, and my parents could see that, too,”
Johnson answered. (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
